This was a great experience enjoying a traditional Ryokan. The room was spacious and nice, the baths clean and comfortable and the food and service impeccable.
Hotel is phenomenal! Staff go beyond to make sure you are catered to. The hotel is rustic and beautiful, rooms are super nice. The onsen was great! Couldn’t recommend this place more.

Highly recommended place to stay in Kyoto
The owner and staff are all so welcoming. They tend to every single details servicing us. The daily Japanese sweets are my favorite. We enjoyed the hot spring every day. Highly recommend it.
One night stay and felt welcomed by all staff. The service was excellent and our room attendant(s) were wonderful. The dinner and breakfast were both delicious.
The staff in this ryokan is very helpful and friendly. The location is ideal for visiting Gion. The property is clean, and the staff can communicate well in English, I highly recommend this place for international travelers.
Really the best experience I’ve had in Kyoto. Public bath was great and quiet and staffs are amazing. Must visit place if you plan to experience ryokan in the heart of Kyoto.
Everything about our stay was perfect. We had such a fun and relaxing time in the onsen and with our in-room dinner and breakfast. We would love to come back again!
